Inventor: WARASHINA MAKOTO
IPC: A01D34/90
Filed: 2002-02-26
Abstract: Plant cutter apparatus includes a handling rod (11), a drive
source unit (13) mounted on one end portion (11a) of the handling
rod (11) via a clutch case (40), and a cutter blade (14) mounted
on the other end portion of the handling rod for being rotated
by activation of the drive source unit. With the handling rod
inserted in an axial loosely-fitting hole (43c) of the clutch case,
the one end portion of the handling rod abuts at its end surface
against an abutting region (43d) formed on the way through the
loosely-fitting hole. The drive source unit is supported by the
end surface of the handling rod via a drive-source mounting portion
(43) of the clutch case. The drive source unit is allowed to freely
vibrate about the one end portion of the handling rod supporting
the unit, so that a flexible coupling portion (42) of the clutch
case can perform a vibration attenuation function to reduce
vibrations transmitted from the drive source unit to the handling
rod.

Abstract: The present invention provides an edge enhancing apparatus (20) including a
filter (51) to extract a horizontal high-frequency component of a video signal, a
rise/fall detection detector (52) to detect leading and trailing edges of the horizontal
high-frequency component of the video signal, and a waveform balancer (53) to

signal level of the high frequency component at the leading edge of the video signal
is positive while making the gain a value of "1" or smaller than "1" when the signal
level of the high frequency component at the leading edge of the video signal is
negative, and make the gain a value of "1" or smaller than "1" when the signal
level of the high frequency component at the trailing edge of the video signal is

Abstract: To maintain growing crops and the soil, access paths are formed through the growth, with the growths on both sides of the tracks. The vegetation is scanned on both sides of the tracks by pulsed laser beams on a horizontal or slightly angled alignment within a truncated cone mantle, to cover the front and sides and the zone over the carrier (1) with a spiral beam movement over the crop growths. The vegetation is scanned by the laser beams from a transmitter (7) in a high resolution light point grid on various levels, with one or more timers synchronized with the laser emission starts for level values. The timers are stopped to determine the different reflection levels from the grid of light points to give separate and/or common path, position and target data. Sensors (3) transmit data signals, from the reflected beam receiver (8) for processing into morphological and physiological characteristic values, and correct the operation of plant sprays, etc.
